Try your Apple ID password. If that doesn't work, then it's looking for a password you may have set for an encrypted disk.

I've tried my apple ID password and that doesn't work either 😟. I don't recall seting a password for an encrypted disk either :/ if it was for an encrypted disk, would it be in keychain anywhere? if so how can i find it?

Thanks!
